Combined service with Word of Life, Rivers of Life, and the Cowboy Church at a 6PM service on Sunday, March 23rd.

Special Guest Rafael Cruz.

Rafael Cruz is a powerful example of the American Dream. Born in Cuba, Rafael lived and suffered under a cruel, oppressive dictator. He began fighting Batista’s regime as a teenager and was imprisoned and tortured simply because he wanted to be free.

Rafael arrived in Texas in 1957 with nothing but the clothes on his back and one hundred dollars sewn into his underwear.

He got a job as a dishwasher, making 50 cents an hour, and worked his way through the University of Texas, while learning English. He later built a small business in further pursuit of the American Dream.

He is an ordained minister, sharing the Word of God in churches and Pastors Conferences throughout the United States. He is also the president of Kingdom Translation Services.

His son, Ted Cruz, is the newly elected U.S. Senator from Texas.

When Ted was a child growing up in Houston, Rafael would tell him, “When we faced oppression in Cuba, I had a place to flee to. If we lose our freedom here, where do we go?”
